A striking and highly collectible Murano art glass sculpture by Renato Anatra, depicting two lovers in an intimate embrace. Dating to approximately 1970–1980, this impressive hand-blown sculpture stands approximately 30.5 cm (12 inches) high and is an excellent example of Anatra's distinctive approach to contemporary figurative glass sculpture. The sculpture depicts a male and female figure standing closely together in full frontal contact, their bodies elongated and simplified into an elegant, almost abstract composition. Their hands meet gently at their sides as the figures lean towards one another in a kiss. Executed in beautifully clear, transparent glass, the sculpture has an extraordinary sense of lightness and purity. The simplified human forms allow the surrounding light to become part of the work, creating changing reflections and layers of transparency as it is viewed from different angles. The figures rise from a substantial cylindrical opaque glass base, providing a strong visual foundation for the transparent sculpture above. Importantly, the piece retains its original “Vetri Artistici Art ’80 Murano – Made in Italy” label to the side of the base and is additionally signed by the artist, with an incised: “R. Anatra” to the underside. The combination of the original label and incised signature makes this an especially desirable example for collectors of Renato Anatra and post-war Murano art glass. Measurements Height: 30.5 cm (12 in.) Width: 7.6 cm (3 in.) Depth: 6.4 cm (2½ in.) Weight: approximately 1.3 kg Condition Excellent vintage condition. No chips, cracks, repairs or significant scratches noted. There are only a few very minor shelf-wear marks consistent with age and previous display. The original Arte ’80 label remains present. Please examine all photographs carefully, which form an integral part of the condition description. Renato Anatra & Arte ’80 Renato Anatra was an important figure in the development of contemporary Murano glass sculpture and was associated with the Arte ’80 studio, which he co-founded with fellow glass artist Andrea Tagliapietra. Anatra became particularly recognised for his sculptural works in clear glass, often reducing the human figure and other subjects to elegant, highly stylised forms that exploit the transparency, reflection and optical qualities of Murano glass. His work has received international recognition, and examples of his glass sculpture have entered important collections and exhibitions. Among the works associated with his career is a polychrome glass guitar...

Italian Murano glass reclining dog sculpture crafted during the nineteen nineties showcases charming Venetian animalier fine art design by master glassmaker Giovanni Dalla Fina. Handcrafted in Italy, this sculptural canine figure is modeled in a relaxed, recumbent pose, resting upon its tucked paws while curling its tail gracefully across its back and turning its expressive head outward. The piece captures the affectionate essence of man's best friend through smooth, stylized contours and substantial solid-glass heft. Working freehand with solid glass at the furnace (a massello), Dalla Fina sculpted the body from dense, golden-amber glass richly infused with twenty-four-karat gold dust inclusions (polvere d'oro), imparting a radiant metallic iridescence across the rounded torso. Providing bold chromatic contrast, the long drooped ears, applied muzzle, expressive almond eyes, collar, and arched tail are executed in warm coral-red glass (rosso corallo) layered with shimmering gold flecks. Under direct gallery spotlights or natural ambient lighting, the fire-polished crystalline surface gleams with intense specular reflections, projecting warm amber refractions, coral halos, and soft sculpted silhouettes across display surfaces. Elevate any executive library desk, architectural bookshelf display, luxury credenza vignette, or vintage nineties Italian art glass collection with this authentic Giovanni Dalla Fina Murano sculpture. Ideal as a captivating standalone focal statement or styled as an elegant accent for collectors of fine Italian animalier sculpture, this piece unites centuries of Venetian lagoon furnace mastery with playful late-century figurative elegance.

Murano hand blown Italian art glass bird sculpture or figurine features a minimal, restrained palette of dark red and off-white with delicate gold lead, or aventurine, accents. The colored glass is encased in a layer clear glass in sommerso technique, adding depth and complexity to the piece. The bird is sitting on sculptural, rounded base, done in clear glass with gold flecks, elevating it without adding a visually heavy element. The main color is referred to as "Ruby Red" in Weil's catalogue of Alfredo Barbini Murano glass. The piece is marked with the original gold & red oval scalloped foil label, “Venetian - Made by Alfredo Barbini for Weil Ceramics and Glass - Murano Italy”, that was in use in 1960s. It is in very good vintage condition, and is ready to be displayed; it would make a great gift to a collector or a design enthusiast and a great display piece on a shelf or a table, and make a perfect addition to a wide range of interiors, from Traditional to Mid Century Modern, Transitional, Collected, or Contemporary. We are offering another Murano glass bird figurine in red and gold colorway, done in similar style, marked with old generic imported Murano glass label, and attributed to Barbini, and Galliano Ferro bird sculpture in blue and gold colorway, that is stylistically similar to both Barbini bird...
